📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a fully animated ammunition and weapon condition checking system to the game,
complete with 35 scratch made animations and a custom HUD element.
The ammo check HUD displays the name of the weapon, the ammo type you're using, the rounds left in your current mag and how much ammo you have left in total. Condition checking HUD simply shows you weapons condition.

This is a complete rewrite of an old mod Hitman and I made back in 2015.
We overhauled the way the mod works to future-proof it for animators who are interested in such system,
so now B42 Inspect acts as a framework as well.
All required information for animators is in the archive.
When in game, press "O" to check your weapon's ammo, and "P" for condition checking. Customizable via MCM.
In MCM you can also change animation cutoff (it will quite literally cut selected amount of seconds from the end of the anim),
to make transition from inspecting to normal weapon animation less weird.
Considering the fact these animations were made with Hitman's Animation Replacer circa 2015, this feature is needed.
Compatible with all ballistic weapons including mod added ones without issues, no compatibility patches required.
Ammo checking animations for energy weapons are not included. Condition checking, though, should work without problems.
Semi-compatible with most, if not all, animation replacers.
No controller support at the moment.

Install required mods first. They are essential and without them – this mod will not work.
"B42 Inspect" mod installs like any other mod, manually or using a mod manager.
I recommend the latter for easy un-installation.
Un-installation is same as installation, but in reverse.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 7,756 endorsements and nearly 900k downloads
- 35 custom animations add serious immersion to routine checks
- Custom HUD element keeps you informed without breaking the flow
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in July 2023 — may need compatibility checks with newer game builds
- No explicit mention of multiplayer support, so it might not work on servers
- Requires manual installation or mod manager setup, which could be a hurdle for newbies
For Project Zomboid players who want to feel every bullet and blade through detailed animations. If you're into hardcore survival roleplay and don't mind a bit of extra visual flair, this is a must-have. Skip if you prefer minimal UI clutter or play on strict vanilla servers.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to enable mods in the main menu before loading your save, or the animations won't trigger.
- If you're on a multiplayer server, check with the admin if mods are allowed — this one might not be synced.
- Try inspecting different weapons and ammo types to see all 35 animations; some are context-specific.
